Well, we can finally cross one of the things off of James Franco’s “All The Things List,” as the little boy is now a man. Today, he graduated from New York University. I’m not sure what his degree was. I mean, I’m sure I could google “James Franco some kind of fucking degree remember?” and then by deductive reasoning, eliminate all of the degrees he is concurrently pursuing at other universities, and any degrees he is still pursuing at NYU that he only started pursuing in the last three to five days and eventually figure out at least one of the degrees if not all of the degrees for which he received a diploma today. I’m sure it has something to do with writing, or film, or dentistry, or cosmetology, or hotel management, or animal husbandry, or quantum physics. (That last one was the joke one.) Anyway, before James Franco rolls up his sleeves and enter the adult workforce (again with the jokes!) let’s dry our eyes with the travel-pack of Kleenex in our purse, and mark this important moment in his life (he is growing up so fast, although not really that fast actually if you think about it) with a caption contest!

With that out of the way, we can now expect James Franco to rise up and fully conquer the next big stage of life, by simultaneously getting a dozen part time jobs that have nothing whatsoever to do with his degree, explaining to all his coworkers that he’s “just taking it easy while he decides what he wants to do with the rest of his life”, and that he’ll probably travel next year (to every country).

Eminem is a pretty fit dude — for a while, he was even attached to star in Antoine Fuqua’s new boxing movie Southpaw. So how does Eminem stay a pretty fit dude? By working out compulsively.

Superproducer Mark Ronson stopped by for a live in-studio session at Australian radio station Triple J today.
